MERCENARIES

Ivan Dolvich

A former highly decorated Red Army Major who took the mercenary world by storm and whose kill rates remain record breaking to this day, despite his shaky command of the English language. The death of his nephew Igor led him to seek comfort in the bottom of a vodka glass and he’s never really come back up from there. Despite this addiction, he remains a powerful force in the field.

Skills:

Due to his large physique, Ivan is a natural at tasks that require strength.

Years of training have earned Ivan a reputation as an automatic weapons expert. He makes handling recoil look so easy, resulting in no accuracy penalties for subsequent bullets in burst shots.

The lack of mercenary business has made Ivan an addict, and he requires alcohol on a regular basis to function.

Charlene ‘Raven’ Higgens

The death of her husband and fellow mercenary Ron Higgens and her inability to save him, left the former L.A.P.D. SWAT team sharpshooter devastated. She retreated for years to a cabin in the woods and recently emerged transformed. While her police ethics have still left her a soft spot for civilians, she can be quite harsh on her teammates. Raven eschews heavy weapons so as not to endanger her delicate sniper’s hands.

Skills:

As a former L.A.P.D. SWAT officer, Charlene is a qualified marksman that works well under pressure. She never managed to suppress her compassionate side and civilian casualties wear heavy on her.

She is most comfortable with sniper rifles, giving her a high bonus on accuracy and critical hit chance. She can also use the whole team as spotters, letting her shoot targets out of her sight range.

Years of hiding in the forests have left her weak and her health lacking. Don’t expect her to perform well in tasks requiring physical strength.

Kyle ‘Shadow’ Simmons

This ex-Ranger has turned stalking into an art form. The Shadow could be lurking about right next to you and chances are you’d never know it. A loner by nature, Shadow has become increasingly paranoid after being the victim of a friendly-fire poison gas attack during a mission, which caused permanent damage to his blood cells and immune system. He still excels at silent kills with his throwing knife.

Skills:

He’s perfected his reflexes to a point that any enemy walking past him will be silently attacked through a Melee Overwatch attack.

His ‘Shadowwalk’ technique allows him to sneak past enemies without being seen – even if they are looking in his direction.

The Shadow is lucky enough to have survived Leukemia but not without permanent effects to his health.

Victoria ‘Vicky’ Waters

At a young age, Vicki lost her family in the civil war on San Hermanos and has been disappointed by humanity over and over again since, until one day, she simply gave up on it. Turning to the reliable comfort of working with machines, Vicki has found solace in working with her hands. She still takes the odd job to bolster her income, but she has no love for her fellow mercs. Or for anyone, for that matter.

Skills:

She can throw grenades and knives better than others, and when she’s using single shot weapons she has a very high bonus on critical hits as well.

She can restore 30% durability of weapons and armor during resting with just one spare part.

Claustrophobia might lead to a panic attack if she stays in an enclosed room.

Helmut ‘Grunty’ Grunther

Grunty used to be one of the most popular members of A.I.M., and his attitude was exemplary. But the merc business made him cynical. Today, he is nothing but professional – cold, calculating and only interested in results and pay. To him, every job is just another routine. His professional leadership may still inspire, but his heart isn’t in it any more.

Skills:

Helmut Grunther’s favorite feeling is the recoil when emptying a whole box of large caliber rounds at high velocity into a target that ‘definitely deserves it’.

He has been trained in night ops, removing all penalties when fighting in darkness, and he has learned special rallying techniques, motivating all team members to do more in the following turn.

Once a seasoned professional, Helmut has had some personal problems lately. He is easily distracted and to some extend even clumsy.

Q ‘Dr Q’ Huaong

Drawing much of his medical knowledge and even more of his quotes from ancient Asian traditions, years of mercenary work have left their toll, making him cynical and disillusioned. While his bodily regime remains intact, his soul has paid a price.

Skills:

Dr. Q is a master of martial arts. He has mastered a powerful melee attack called Tiger Claw causing more critical hits.

During resting he can heal all sorts of afflictions and wounds using his TCM medkit.

Huaong’s obsession with martial arts and all things spiritual left him rarely visiting the gun range. Due to this his firearms training is lacking.
